See those adorable chunky legs on the beach above this blog? The person behind all of the gorgeous new photography in the ads, catalog, postcards, & giant pictures in our showroom is Rachel Eng from Denver, Colorado. Not only did she take 2000 pics for us, she managed to make the kids & mint™ stuff look great in 23-degree weather and gusty winds one freezing day in April. Click the title above to read the rest!
SO...we're back from 9 days in Atlanta in our new showroom. WOW! Thank you to everyone who came up to see us! What an awesome market!

How did this happen? It seems like it was just a little while ago that he was crawling around in crunchy diapers. Fast forward & I'm washing his blankets & packing his trunk for Camp Stewart with binoculars & his favorite reptiles book. It's going to be so good for him! I'm not ashamed to admit I'm going to require an IV of cabernet to get through it, however.

It has already hit 93 degrees here in Texas...& around here, that means two things: 1) Spring has arrived, & 2) Market is just around the corner!

Oh, we have giggled all day over here about our funny memories of Valentine's Days when we were little. Remember making your Valentine mailbox out of the oatmeal can? Or shoebox? What was your favorite Valentine's Day memory? Who was it? Do you remember when Valentine's came without logos & copyright information labels? Oh, those were the days! Christi
Well, we did it. We survived the big sleepover party & no one went home early or crying. Some of the parents might have been surprised to learn that we busted the Darth Vader pinata at 8am on Sunday morning (breakfast was ruined!), or that we had a silly string fight & glow stick party when the sun went down. We're just crazy like that.
I'm going to post something more official (with .PDF files of cerificates) next week, but I just wanted to let you all know we've always been super-diligent about testing the safety of our products. Long before these new laws were an issue, we were testing the lining of our lunchboxes and the fabric of our nap rolls. I'd never let a product leave our door that wasn't safe for my own child to use. Back to work...Christi
Jack picked his 3 favorite things for today--all navy/aqua, of course! Don't forget to check back every day until Thursday for the sale item(s) of the day. If you're not a retailer or a wholesale customer, please check 'Find mint™' to see where to find us, if you're looking for a retail outlet!
